They are trying to prolong the meeting.
Is this correct?

After seeing Brian's answer I checked a book of Spanish idioms and found this.
dar largas - To postpone or delay, or give someone the run around.

No. Dar largas a (something) is an idiom. It does not mean to prolong. It is more like to put off or to delay.

Yes, or to stall. - rac1, Jan 25, 2013
To stall. I like that better, frankly. It can even be like to try to procrastinate on something. - brian5764, Jan 25, 2013
so, they are trying to postpone the meeting? - gsdfsggs, Jan 25, 2013
Yes. But since it´s an idiom, the idea of giving the runaround, like Swampy wrote, is probably closer to the mark. - brian5764, Jan 25, 2013

Maybe: Ellos están tratando de alargar la reunión.
